I use to have very bad acne, but i started using a bar of soap and washed my face with it, then I also used Biore cleanser , worked like a charm.

Watch, when you start having hella sex on a daily basis, your skin is gonna heal itself and you gonna be smooth like butter.

Hey, when you have ACNE, anything helps. When I had Acne,it was serious in my world. I'm just telling him what worked for me. It may not be prescribed by a doctor, but it might work. You ain't gotta worryabout side effects on this one.

 

[jretro23]

^ might sound random, but this is 1 solution, if your acne is hormonal. eat healthier, limit the junk food or soda. stop stressing over little things.exercise. live happy. real talk.

Well if you don't strap up you could have a side effect.

But I can see how it would work but in terms of what everyone else was saying it is mad random.

yeah that's true. You have to get a dermo to prescribe it and you have to take blood tests once a month. It really dries out your face, and lips. Just get Cerave for your face and carmex oir w/e other strong lip stuff they got. But accutane always works. You take it for 6 months and will completely get rid of it then you will take whatever skin thing they tell you to keep it from coming back. Also get the chemical peel from the deermo which helps get rid of acne a lil and tries to get rid of scaring. It's like $20 a month.

I'm on month 3, and half of its gone. In month 2 it will get worse but that is because they take away the antibiotic they give you with it to keep you're acne from getting bad and to get use to it.

While i was on accutane it only made the skin on my hand dry but it really did work. I haven't had a serious breakout since i got off of it.

Yeah, it was random

. But OP, dont take my advice if youlike to go raw, I don't want anyone having side effects on my advice.

 

[mf doomer]

I used to use Salicylic Acid washes for the acne I had. Also, I used to use b5 supplements. I can say from experience the only thing that worked or will workfor you are natural products. Tea tree oil washes, drink a lot of water, use a lemon as a toner. Remember, summer is here so you gotta keep your skin hydrated.

 

[abominalsnowman]

Go see a dermatologist.

 

[notoriousmro]

Differin Gel at night and Benzaclin during the day cleared up my face within a week. Then i use this Kiehls face wash and moisturizer. I struggled with acne.When it goes away you need to remind yourself to keep using them.

 

[lurkin2long]

ive never had an acne problem.

but drinking water and the foods you eat will help a lot.

 

[carlos tevez]

I used to have horrible acne, I'd post pics but I dont want anyone to throw up.

I tried everything, Retina A, Tetracycline, Proactive, etc. etc. but nothing made it better.

Then I read about Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5 pills) and I tried them out. Within 1 week all my pimples were gone. I recommend Pantothenic Acid by a brandcalled Solaray, I guarantee you 100% that all of your acne will disappear. Buy the bottles with 500mg pills and take 10 of them a day. No side effects andgreat results.

Another thing that helped me was avoiding dairy products. No more whey protein, milk, yogourt, cottage cheese, cheese, etc. I still eat them once in a whileand get the occasional pimple but it's not a big deal anymore.

There are a ton of myths surrounding what causes acne. Fapping/Sex DOES NOT CAUSE ACNE. Peanut butter does not cause acne. Staying up late does not cause acne.I think that high sugar, dairy products, stress are obvious triggers.

 

[ricekrispies420]

i been having acne since high school. i really hate it....

avoid the junk food. wash your face morning/night. have something to wipe your face through the day (wipes, blotters). use acne medicine. wash your pillow.don't touch your face etc..

 

[daytona 5000]

Don't touch your face. Period. Thats probably the biggest thing.
You know how many disgusting things you touch throughout the day?

 

[59 piffy]

dont use stuff stuff with benzoyl peroxide .....it just $$%*%$ up my skin. matter fact a lot of the chemicals they put in acne treatments just mess up yourskin.


and people say go to a dermatologist........i went there twice and it did nothing. prescribed me some crap that just made things worse and then wrote me aprescription for somethin else that i never filled. if you do go to a dermatologist make sure you see a good one, because there arent too many.

pop and chocolate causing acne......myth IMO.

you could try doing a cleanse.......i think that acne is prolly caused by the toxins inside your body so if you flush everything out internally it should helpand give other health benefits.

id stay away from chemicals and use natural products. find out if you have any food allergies too. buy a bottle of apple cider vinegar (organic raw unfilteredwith the "mother"). obviously different things work for different skin types.

Then I read about Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5 pills) and I tried them out. Within 1 week all my pimples were gone. I recommend Pantothenic Acid by a brand called Solaray, I guarantee you 100% that all of your acne will disappear. Buy the bottles with 500mg pills and take 10 of them a day. No side effects and great results.


i have a bottle of pantothenic acid (500mg) but ive heard it can cause hairloss. should i be worried about that? also 10 seems OD, i dont wanna mess up myliver or somethin

 

[snakeyes17]

Anyone who has had success from Accutane.........what was your dosage? How many mg are you taking?


I'm starting Monday at 10mg a day to start off for the first month, I thought it should be more like 30-40mg, and in the most serious cases 80+mg.
I've been reading up though and there is a lot of success with low doses of Accutane and 60% remission from 10mg/day.
Doc will probably bump it up to 20mg second month, but not sure really.

 

[sleepybluedemon]

Just go to the dermatologist.

Way back when I was in high school, Differin cleared it up for me.

Then I picked up some in Mexico when I went on vacation since you don't need a prescription.

 

[birdsiview]

Alcohol and cotton balls FTW. I have the most oily skin imaginable, there's no such thing as drying it out so as often as possible I put some alcohol on acotton ball and clean my face with it. It's worked 100x better than any product I've used.

 

[suckafree85]

I used to have a lot of Acne back in high school...

I started using Proactive and drinking more water and it all cleared up.. Now I get one every once in awhile...
